Sport a V-shaped torso by adding the underhand-grip barbell row to your routine. It hits your upper-back muscles and straightens your posture all at once.

"When pulling the weight to your chest, you have to rely on your rear deltoids, rhomboids, and trapezius muscles to move the load," says BJ Gaddour, C.S.C.S., creator of Men's Health StreamFIT. "These are the muscles that give you a broader back, and make your waist look smaller by comparison." Plus, the underhand grip works your biceps harder than an overhead or neutral grip, so you're getting an awesome arm workout, too, he says.
